Abstract
Type II diabetes presents a significant health challenge among Filipino populations, exacerbated by low health literacy and treatment adherence rates. This six-month study implemented a modified Filipino version of a diabetes medication decision aid to address these issues. Pre- and post-test questionnaires, along with hemoglobin A1C measurements, assessed the intervention's impact on seven participants recruited from the Primary Care Clinic of Hawaii - Waipahu. Findings revealed a notable 10% improvement across knowledge, comfort, and treatment adherence domains post-intervention. Additionally, all participants affirmed the aid's usefulness, emphasizing its role in enhancing patient education and empowerment. Despite overall positive outcomes, a 28.6% increase in HbA1c% in some cases highlights the need for further investigation into contributing factors. Continued refinement and customization of the decision aid, based on patient feedback and clinical insights, are crucial for sustaining positive outcomes and promoting patient-centered care in diabetes management practices. This study underscores the importance of culturally tailored interventions in addressing healthcare disparities among minority populations. Further analysis is warranted to evaluate the long-term efficacy and scalability of such interventions.
